In a super exciting weekend for our students at Nix Academy, we achieved our highest number of competition placings ever at our favourite XCITE Dance Competition. Taking place at Leatherhead Theatre, this competition run saw our talented performers bringing home the most amount of medals and trophies across multiple categories!
Solo Success Stories
Our soloists dazzled the judges with their fantastic performances, securing top positions across the board. Our Jazz division entries double success with 2nd and 3rd place wins, while our Lyrical soloist captured hearts and 2nd place with a moving performance. The Musical Theatre category proved particularly triumphant, with our performers claiming both 1st and 2nd place positions.
Group Glory
Our group performances showcased our strength in numbers! Our Mini Groups dominated their divisions, with "Just Because I'm a Girl" and "Ice Cream Crazy" both clinching 1st place honours. "Lullaby" secured 3rd place, while in Juniors "My Sister's Keeper" earned a brilliant 2nd place finish.
Contemporary and Jazz Excellence
Our Junior Contemporary tribute to Florence Nightingale earned a stellar 2nd place, combining technical brilliance with powerful storytelling. In Junior Jazz we brought infectious energy to our "Jump" routine, dancing their way to 3rd place and adding to our record-breaking medal count.
A Testament to Dedication
These fantastic achievements reflect not just the exceptional talent of our dancers but their unwavering commitment to giving every competition their best whilst having FUN! Every performer embodied the Nix Academy values of dedication, teamwork, and most importantly of all - pure joy in dance and performing.
Looking Ahead
With this record-breaking success at XCITE, we're so excited for our next dance competition fixture during the current competition season - coming up at the beginning of March. This fantastic standard shown by our dancers promises even greater achievements to come.
To our amazing Mini and Juniors Elite Squad, dedicated teachers, and supportive families - congratulations! Keep dancing, keep shining, and most importantly, keeping having FUN!
